Egyptian Gets 25-Year Sentence For Role in 1998 Embassy Bombings

Adel Abdel Bary Pled Guilty Last Year to Conspiring to Kill Americans

Adel Abdel Bary, an Egyptian citizen who pleaded guilty last year to conspiring to kill Americans, was sentenced Friday to 25 years in prison for his involvement in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.

Mr. Bary, wearing blue prisoner’s clothes and a long beard, received the maximum sentence possible under his plea agreement with the U.S. government. Mr. Bary could be eligible for release in just over eight years, as he will receive credit for the decade and a half he’s already spent in U.K. and U.S. prisons.
